Paperback. Etat : Fair. You CAN understand annulment. You just need a little help You never wanted this to happen, but now you're civilly divorced. There's no such thing as Catholic divorce because in God's eyes a valid marriage can never be broken. But sometimes what looks like a marriage from the outside can be fatally flawed from the beginning. Only God can see deeply into the human heart. He knows how human frailty and weakness, and inabilities of some people to enter into marriage freely and fully despite their best attempts. After careful study of such an attempted union, the Church may be able to declare that no valid marriage bond was created. And this book will help you understand the process. Regardless of your situation, the Church is here to help and you don t have to be a priest or canon lawyer to understand the basics. This little book with big help dispels the common myths and misunderstandings about marriage, divorce, and annulments, and is helpful for: - Divorced men and women who are considering if they have grounds for an annulment - Those who need help completing their formal petition for a Decree of Nullity (annulment) - Lay or religious ministers who work with the separated and divorced - Parish priests and deacons involved in divorce ministry - Those who counsel divorced Catholics - Anyone who wants to know more about what the Church really teaches about divorce I was afraid of the annulment process at first, but found it incredibly healing and even freeing.

I thought I did, but I was blown away when I learned the truth. Going through the annulment process actually made me hunger to know more of my Catholic faith. - Jim.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. It is often said that living the Gospel is difficult. In reality, it is the easiest thing. It is difficult to live without God, groping aimlessly, alone.

In contrast, life is made simpler, when we trust in the Word and give ourselves over to Christ. The teaching of Christ is designed for the human heart. His teaching is sensible and it makes us sensible. And so, he whoever practices the teachings of Sermon on the Mount, with the grace of God, will enter into the pathways of the good sense of Jesus.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Some people are just dying for change St. Rita's was a vibrant suburban church whose parishioners liked things on the traditional side: old-fashioned hymns from the choir and no-nonsense preaching from the priests, pious devotions in the chapel and warm pastries in the rectory kitchen. All that ended the day the liturgist arrived. He promised to bring the parish up to date, to get more people to participate, to make the Mass more appealing to the tastes of modern Catholics. But all he did was make enemies; it seems St. Rita's wasn t ready to sing a new church into being quite yet. So when the liturgist turned up dead, under violent and mysterious circumstances, everyone was a suspect Death of a Liturgist features the return of Francesca Bibbo, the irrepressible heroine of Death in the Choir. Join her and the rest of St. Rita's eccentric crew, including Sister Therese, Detective Tony Viscardi, and Ignatius the Hamster (with a little help from the archbishop, too), as they try to solve the mystery and make St. Rita's safe for tradition again.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Flight of Faith Frederick Berretta was an amateur pilot himself, so when U.S. Airways Flight 1549 struck a flock of geese and lost both engines, minutes after takeoff from La Guardia Airport on that fateful afternoon of January 15, 2009, he knew before most of his fellow passengers that something was seriously wrong. As the roar of the jets was silenced and the aircraft ceased to climb, as the pilot guided the powerless plane towards a desperate crash landing in the Hudson River and announced, Brace for impact, Berretta closed his eyes, clutched the prayer book in his pocket, and tried to prepare himself for death. A multitude of thoughts flooded his mind all at once. He reminded himself that the odds of surviving a water landing were slim to none. He thought of his wife and his four children, and how they would miss him. He remembered he had just been to confession and to Mass, and he wondered if his soul would be ready to meet the Lord. And he knew he had to pray. God, please be merciful to us, for the sake of your Son, he whispered. Please spare us. I trust in you. Jesus, I trust in you. Mother of God, please pray for us. At that very instant, Berretta felt a push or nudge on his conscience; a state of awareness he'd never before experienced; and a keen realization that he had to do something. But what? Then God's voice sounded strong and clear in the depths of his soul: Are you going to accept My will for your life.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Some of the most important and necessary building blocks of human life are so often taken for granted: water, air, fire, food. We live each day without any sense of gratitude for these blessings that sustain our physical life. And so it is for our spiritual life. The sacraments are the very lifeblood of our soul, yet in the midst of our busy lives, we can fail to understand their power and importance. Without them, we are spiritually dead. With them, the very life of God runs through us. In this new book from Fr. Matthew Kauth, the Church's seven sacraments are presented in such a way that no reader will ever again take them for granted. Fr. Kauth brilliantly illuminates not only the scriptural foundation and profound spiritual realities of each sacrament but also the necessity of each as a means to living a happy and fulfilled life that leads to heaven. Highlights include: * How the sacraments are anchored in the life and death of Jesus and are the medium through which he pours his life into our souls. * Discovering the purpose, meaning, and symbolism behind the matter of the sacraments: water, bread, oil, wine. * Understanding how Christ administers his sacraments through human hands and what our own role is in receiving them. * How Mary's strength and fortitude, attributes we don't normally attribute to her, are a model for Confirmation. * An expert dissection of the instrumentality, effects, elements, character, and fruits of each sacrament. * How the sacrament of marriage reaches all the way back to Genesis but finds its full meaning in the passion of Jesus.   Christ told us, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Stop searching for the treasures of this world that only leave your heart empty, but instead, welcome the treasures he is waiting to give you. the treasures of his divine life. &nbsp.…

Hardback. Etat : Fair. What is a retrograde? A retrograde calculates, night and day, how to return the world to: the Old Order of moral and sexual decency, classical masculinity, national sovereignty and national borders, faith and hope and charity, goodness and beauty and truth, Christian civic liberty, and most importantly, the social kingship of Christ. In the words of Shakespeare, a retrograde is one of God's spies. The retrograde has the unique capacity for understanding the stark chasm between the degenerate, socialist-infiltrated world of decay on one side and the well-meaning, good-hearted, but clueless Christian world on the other. In a time of such profound decay, being one of God's spies is a last resort and a pure necessity: it involves not deep cover,--i.e., acting like the enemy--but rather half cover acting as a contra in the secular arena, a crypto-Christian counterinsurgent willing to fight like a Navy Seal and to think like a counterintel officer. Retrogrades . . . to the streets: our aim is to reverse the deliberate, deuced machinations of radicals like Saul Alinsky who, by penning the rulebook of radicalism, threw down a challenge that has, until now, gone unanswered. Rules for Retrogrades is the handbook men of good will need to win the culture war Here is a sampling from the call to action found within these pages: No truth is off-limits; we must never be ashamed to be candid.It is a damnable lie that humility disallows Christians from standing up (for what they believe) in the cultural and political forum Control of language is control of thought; don't let radicals control the language.Never trust a man who is unwilling to have enemies.Radicals form coalitions but retrogrades form fellowships.The root of cultural decay is feminism: end feminism to end radicalism.…
